I am excited about the possibility that the N900 may end with up to "5 radios": gsm/phone, wi-fi, bluetooth, fm transmitter and fm receiver

The folks who're looking for a good portable device to do development will quite happily hop onboard the most open and friendly platform. Nokia started up strong back in the 770 and N800 era but it has felt as if it's been downhill ever since. That explanation also didn't address the apparently numerous post-purchase negative experiences with hardware support that can hurt loyalty to the brand. I'm not sure that I would like to continue to experience lack of replacement parts and support with my NEXT big purchase from Nokia, for instance. This still seems like a big executive/PR blunder.
Probably by official release time Nokia PR will do what needs to be done. So blaming Nokia for not getting the news out thru Sales Rep et all is hardly justified.

You're looking forward to an official press photo of the Maemo 5 lead device, as are we all. However, the lack of one doesn't mean development for the device is closed.
Nokia released the Maemo 5 pre-alpha SDK back in early December of 2008, and they provided an overview of many of the included technologies three months earlier. That's a long period of time for developers to explore the platform, experiment, and provide feedback. Compare it with three months for iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 1 to release and the Palm webOS SDK that trailed the Pre's release by a month.
Sure it's frustrating waiting for that official device announcement, but early announcements and paper launches bring their own pains.

Turns out that our brains are hardwired this way. We can't help it.
This preference for knowledge about the future was intimately linked to the monkeys' desire for water. The same neurons in the middle of their brains signalled their expectations of both rewards - the watery prizes and knowledge about them.
All the neurons in question release the signalling chemical dopamine... The same dopamine neurons were excited during trials where the monkey only saw the symbol that heralded forthcoming information, and they were inhibited if they monkey only saw the other non-informative symbol.
So the same population of midbrain neurons signal changes in both the thirst for water and for knowledge. The more active they are, the stronger that thirst is. One monkey had a stronger preference for early information than the other and indeed, its dopamine neurons were more active when it saw the informative symbol. Even for each individual monkey, the neurons were more active on specific trials where they showed a preference for advanced knowledge.
